Reserved character names from Guild Wars 1 will unlock in Guild Wars 2 on Friday

So hurry up.

That’s right: if you’re one of the many who put a name aside from Guild Wars 1 to re-use literally hundreds of in-game years later in Guild Wars 2 but who hasn’t actually got around to re-using the name yet, hurry up!

ArenaNet announced late last week that those reserved names will be released as of November 8th at 2:00 PM PST (which works out to 9:00 AM Sydney time on Friday, November 9).

“If you have a character name reserved from Guild Wars and haven’t gotten around to making that character in Guild Wars 2, this is the time to do so,” reads the announcement. “If you’ve been waiting for a reserved name, your wait is almost over!”
